Description

A deeply personal and moving memoir of illness and recovery, tracing one young woman's journey from diagnosis to remission and back to life. Suleika Jaouad's story is a powerful exploration of the human experience, as she navigates the complexities of a life interrupted by illness. In the summer after graduating, Jaouad's life was full of promise, but a diagnosis of leukemia at just 23 years old sent her world into turmoil. She spent four years in and out of hospital, chronicling her experiences in a column for The New York Times, and grappling with the uncertainty of her future. This is a beautifully crafted and affecting memoir, offering insights into the nature of self, connectedness, and the human condition.
